Gun manufacturers and the NRA ask ALEC to craft pro-gun laws, which have resulted in "stand your ground" laws, among many others. The oil industry asks for anti-climate laws, and ALEC grants their wishes with laws like State Withdrawal from Regional Climate Initiatives.

Bills similar to the one passed in Utah have been introduced in Arizona and Colorado, and legislators in Montana, Idaho, and New Mexico are considering introducing legislation next year.

Many legal experts - including Utah's Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel - say a lawsuit wouldn't pass constitutional review, but they would cost states millions of taxpayer dollars. The Utah legislature has authorized the attorney general to spend $3 million on the anticipated legal fight.

alecexposed.org shows that ALEC drafted this legislation back in 1995, the "Sagebrush Rebellion Act," but it's getting traction now because there are so many extreme right wing elected officials.

People for the American Way is working to get ALEC's corporate members to leave the group. Sign this petition if you agree:

Where can I obtain a list of corporate members, sponsors and funders of ALEC so I can boycott them and spread the list among all my friends, co-workers, family. We will not support or help fund these outrageous, destructive and American eroding right wing radical acts of legislation under the flagrantly deceptive auspices and pretense of promoting American business. They are attacking my freedoms, beliefs and American way of life in a covert and cowardly, criminally manipulative maneuver to deceive the American public. LOL!...and the Republicans claim they are the party of principals, values, ethic integrity and on the moral high ground...HAHAHAHA!!! Only they believe this....the rest of us have known the real truth for a long, long time and will send a strong, loud, clear message at the polls in November.
